 This patch enables the usage scenario that my family likes namely: Most of
 the time wanting stereo output through the TV (and/or amp), with occasion
 need for 5.1 output (mainly for DVD playback).

 The current way to do this involves entering the setup screens to toggle
 the AC3/DTS passthrough flags - which is quite inconvienient and not
 something that is greatly family friendly.

 Once applied the usage of passthrough audio can be toggled (for
 appropriate audio streams) either from the playback menu, or (in theory;
 not tested) via a mapped key.

 It adds a new database setting 'InitPassThrough' that indicates whether
 passthrough should be enabled by default on the start of playback or not
 (our preferred configuration is disabled; by default it is enabled); The
 patch doesn't include a UI for setting this.
